[spoonfed-1]

For you guys that are running the magnum divers.

Whats the max. depth you guys are getting with 30 lb wire on these divers?

What brand are you running?

Thanks

Glen, I only run Walker Mags for divers & one time I bounced my flasher/fly thru the Zs w/ 360' out in 150 FOW w/ the diver set set @ 1.5, my speed was 2.5 surface, 1.9 @ the ball (depth raider). Now, I've also run thru the same exact spot w/ the same speed on the surface and did not touch bottom. I'm no expert on the mags but I can say for sure that the dive curve really flattens out as you try to get below 150 and the further out to the side you try to get them to go the more variable they seem to run in terms of depth.When I run them at depths I think are about 80-90 down they seem take 2' of wire to get 1' down, but after that the ratio really seems to fall apart. Most of the time I'm trying to get below 100' down I'm out over 300-400 FOW (Cayuga), so it's a little difficult to say where they are.

I guess I have to confess that for a long time I really have not thought of my divers as a precision tool. I run them out to where I think they will work on that day and if they don't I just keep changing them, one at a time. I guess this sounds stupid but it does seem to work. -Andy
